The Significance of World Tourism Day

September 27 is World Tourism Day, which is a holiday for tourism workers and tourists determined by the World Tourism Organization.

The Origin of World Tourism Day

On September 27, 1970, the International Official Tourism Union adopted the Constitution of the World Tourism Organization at the Special Representative Conference held in Mexico City. To commemorate this day, the Third World Tourism Organization Congress officially designated September 27 as World Tourism Day in September 1979.

To popularize the concept of tourism, clarify the role and significance of tourism, and promote the development of world tourism. The Organization has set a theme for this festival every year since 1980. National tourism organizations carry out activities according to the annual theme and requirements.

The theme of world tourism in 1980 was "Tourism contributes to the preservation of cultural heritage, peace and mutual understanding".

In October 1983, China was admitted as a full member of the World Tourism Organization. Since then, China has also carried out commemorative activities for this festival around September 27 every year.

The significance of the establishment of World Tourism Day

This day coincides with the passing of the tourist season in the northern hemisphere and the arrival of the tourist season in the southern hemisphere, which is a good time for people around the world to spend their holidays. Since 1980, relevant countries have organized a series of celebrations every year, such as issuing stamps, holding postcard exhibitions, introducing new tourist routes, and opening up new tourist spots.

The significance of this festival is to develop tourism and promote the culture, art and economy of all countries. It can also enhance mutual understanding among people of all countries and promote social progress.
